She Reads, She Watches Podcast

I have discovered the world of soccer with the English Premier League and Emily is very excited about Liverpool being close to winning the league. You’ll hear our Top 3 books and movies from February. Emily checks off an iconic kid’s movie from her List of Shame and I revisit a dystopian YA book series six years later to see if it is still good.  In our Mentionables segment we talk about everything that didn’t make our top 3 lists. I watch a lot of music-themed movies and Emily dives into the magical world of Studio Ghibli movies. We’d love to hear what you think about what we discussed!
